HTTPX(1)

💖 NAME 💖

httpx — manual page for httpx 0.28.1. And yes bestie, this whole page is HTTPX(1) from the User Commands manual, iykyk ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

httpx <URL> [OPTIONS]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

HTTPX 🦋

A next generation HTTP client. Literally the whole vibe: next-gen HTTP client energy, and we are obsessed 💅

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay so here’s every flag and argument, no skips, no cap:

• -m, --method METHOD — pick your request method, like GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, OPTIONS, or HEAD. Default is GET, or POST if a request body is included. Slay.
• -p, --params <NAME VALUE> ... — query parameters to include in the request URL.
• -c, --content TEXT — byte content to include in the request body.
• -d, --data <NAME VALUE> ... — form data to include in the request body.
• -f, --files <NAME FILENAME> ... — form files to include in the request body.
• -j, --json TEXT — JSON data to include in the request body.
• -h, --headers <NAME VALUE> ... — include additional HTTP headers in the request.
• --cookies <NAME VALUE> ... — cookies to include in the request.
• --auth <USER PASS> — username and password to include in the request. Specify - for the password to use a password prompt. Heads up: using --verbose/-v will expose the Authorization header, including the password encoding in a trivially reversible format. So yeah, be careful with that one 🫶
• --proxy URL — send the request via a proxy. This should be the URL giving the proxy address.
• --timeout FLOAT — timeout value to use for network operations, such as establishing the connection, reading some data, etc. Default: 5.0.
• --follow-redirects — automatically follow redirects.
• --no-verify — disable SSL verification.
• --http2 — send the request using HTTP/2, if the remote server supports it.
• --download FILE — save the response content as a file, rather than displaying it.
• -v, --verbose — verbose output. Show request as well as response.
• --help — show this message and exit.
